Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium, diced onion
  • 1 lb, cubed chicken breast
  • 4 cups corn kernels
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp, chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt the 2 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the 1 lb cubed chicken breast and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Stir in the 4 cups corn kernels and 4 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until corn is tender.

  4. 4

    Using an immersion blender, blend about half the soup until creamy, leaving some chunks for texture. (Alternatively, transfer 2 cups to a blender and puree, then return to pot.)

  5. 5

    Stir in the 1 cup heavy cream and 1 tbsp fresh thyme. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, until heated through.

  6. 6

    Season with the 1 tsp black pepper and salt to taste. Serve hot, garnished with extra thyme if desired.
